J MAN STUDIOS > March 19, 2009 - This photo is of the tail lights of a new Pontiac GTO. I really liked the depth of field that was produced along the left side of the car as well as the bokeh in the background. Bumped up the levels and color saturation a bit in Aperture.

Shot hand-held with a Nikon D70 and Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 lens at f/1.8 with a shutter speed of 1/125 sec at ISO 200.
J MAN STUDIOS > March 18, 2009 - Another nice day here in N. Kentucky so I took advantage of the spring weather to take a stroll thru the neighborhood while the sun was setting. I liked the shape of this tree sillouetted against the setting sun.

J MAN STUDIOS > March 17, 2009 - Mid-70's today, so the family and I took a nice walk together this evening. Captured this image of some red buds on a tree in the neighborhood. It's really nice to finally see some color coming back and winter giving way to spring. Added a vignette in post to create final composition.

J MAN STUDIOS > March 15, 2009 - Today the NCAA basketball tournament selections took place, which means that March Madness will be starting soon. In that spirit, I decided to capture something to get me in the mood. I came up with this simple image of a basketball... I thought it could make a decent stock photo! Should I submit it?

J MAN STUDIOS > March 14, 2009 - I've been wanting to play with selective coloring recently so I captured this image of a bowl of oranges to work with. I learned a new trick by using the Dodge & Burn plug-in to desaturate & saturate the colors directly within Aperture 2, which is a big time-saver. Let me know what you think!

J MAN STUDIOS > March 13, 2009 - Took a stroll around MainStrausse in Covington, KY after a morning meeting. I found this cool gritty lamp on the side of Chez Nora Restraunt. I liked the textrues and overall composition of the image as well as the depth of field & sweet bokeh! Hope you enjoy it too!

Shot hand-held with my Nikon D70 and Nikkor 50mm lens at f/2.2 with a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec at ISO 200.
J MAN STUDIOS > March 12, 2009 - My son was jammin out to Rock Band this evening so I pulled out the camera to catch him in action. Slowed down the shutter-speed to blur the motion and bumped up the ISO to increase the grain. Ran the image through Color Efex Pro Bi-Color filter to complete the post-processing effect. Enjoy!

J MAN STUDIOS > March 11, 2009 - A much colder day today, but was able to capture this outdoor scene after dropping my son off at basketball practice this evening. This lake sits by the kids school and is regularly frequented by Canadian Geese. Minor post processing in Aperture for color saturation and levels. Love to hear what you think!

Shot hand-held with my Nikon D70 and Nikkor 50mm lens at f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec at ISO 200.
J MAN STUDIOS > March 9, 2009 - Another spring-like day today with highs in the 70s.  My daughter was out riding her bike and just looked too cute with her helmet and sunglasses on to resist shooting her. No major processing done to the image, just bumped up the color saturation a bit.

March 19, 2009 - This photo is of the tail lights of a new Pontiac GTO. I really liked the depth of field that was produced along the left side of the car as well as the bokeh in the background. Bumped up the levels and color saturation a bit in Aperture.
